    Fucking absurd that Messi had 300 goals by the age of 25 while playing in La Liga which was the #1 league for the majority of his career while legendary strikers like Ibrahimovic scored 300 by the age of 31

    He’s not even a pure striker like some others on this list. Messi scoring that many as a winger for most of his career is insane.

    Ronaldo playing as a middfielder and then a winger and still making top 5 shows how amazing he was back then, and the crazy ammount of goals after 30 too.

      Some people would do anything to put down his achievements. Was Messi’s competition this much stronger when they were putting 5 against every team in Liga ? Finishing 30 points clear of anybody but real.

      Ligue 1 teams are good and they know how to defend well. Mbappe would score as many goals in any other league.

    I’m surprised Messi was #2. His first few seasons he was not a big goal scorer, it took him until year 4 before he started really banging them in.

    Spent all of his career so far in a 2 bob league, if he wants to be truly considered anything close to goat he needs to push himself beyond playing against Brest.

    Wow… Mbappe is almost 25 now. There was a time when it felt like he was 19 for a long time.

    Surprised that Zlatan was 31 when he hit 300 goals.
